This malicious software disguises itself as counterfeit Microsoft Windows updates and Word installers. Fortinet FortiGuard Labs recently uncovered various versions of Big Head ransomware that encrypt files on victims' computers and demand cryptocurrency payments in return.</span></p><p><span style="color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;">During their investigation, Fortinet researchers noted one variant of Big Head ransomware that presents a phony Windows Update, indicating that the ransomware may have been distributed under the guise of a fake update. Another variant, disguised as counterfeit software, cleverly employs a Microsoft Word icon.</span></p><p><span style="color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;">Analysis of this ransomware by Trend Micro revealed its underlying mechanics. Big Head, built on the .NET framework, exhibits the ability to deploy three encrypted binaries. The first, 1.exe, facilitates the propagation of the malware. The second, archive.exe, enables communication through the messaging platform Telegram. Finally, Xarch.exe encrypts the victim's files while displaying a deceptive Windows update.</span></p><p><span style="color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;">Big Head ransomware has primarily affected users in the United States, Spain, France, and Turkey. Trend Micro's research sheds light on the deceptive tactics employed by this malware, including the presentation of a phony Windows Update user interface. This interface aims to mislead victims by mimicking a legitimate software update process, displaying progress increments of 100 seconds, adding to the illusion of authenticity.</span></p><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Big Head is no different from other ransomware families in that it deletes backups, terminates several processes, and performs checks to determine if it's running within a virtualized environment before proceeding to encrypt the files.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #232f3e; content: " "; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">In addition, the malware disables the Task Manager to prevent users from terminating or investigating its process and aborts itself if the machine's language matches that of Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Armenian, Georgian, Tatar, and Uzbek. It also incorporates a self-delete function to erase its presence.</p><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWArncxYzqmdiY338MAo7kVbnYvDPyfY_dGV_fVQDkilU6Cxe6JVjYUbomvi5YsYDyTPS8GalO_Tx9Y4UZvx1Og5VkAy1vnbdwwxww7MC-EZqgAsoQIPJhQc6foDGfnvOVIWdp8AW0trCdOXEMG6pL2OCZ9cXYf6Rxq9qUjm79l_yJjvj-Cfy4atz6gyNS/s728-e365/big-head-ransomware.jpg" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: left; color: #195afe; cursor: default; display: block; float: left; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px !important; margin-top: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-align: center; text-decoration-line: none; text-decoration-skip-ink: auto; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s; vertical-align: baseline;"><img alt="Big Head Ransomware" border="0" data-original-height="462" data-original-width="728" src="https://thehackernews.com/new-images/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWArncxYzqmdiY338MAo7kVbnYvDPyfY_dGV_fVQDkilU6Cxe6JVjYUbomvi5YsYDyTPS8GalO_Tx9Y4UZvx1Og5VkAy1vnbdwwxww7MC-EZqgAsoQIPJhQc6foDGfnvOVIWdp8AW0trCdOXEMG6pL2OCZ9cXYf6Rxq9qUjm79l_yJjvj-Cfy4atz6gyNS/s728-e3650/big-head-ransomware.jpg" style="border-radius: 5px; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%; opacity: 1; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-indent: -9999px; transition: transform 0.3s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline; width: inherit;" title="Big Head Ransomware" /></a></div><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #232f3e; content: " "; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><br /></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;">According to Trend Micro, a second artifact associated with Big Head ransomware has been detected, exhibiting both ransomware and stealer behaviors. The stealer component utilizes an open-source tool called WorldWind Stealer to extract various data, including web browser history, directory lists, running processes, product keys, and network information. Additionally, a third variant of Big Head has been uncovered, incorporating a file infector called Neshta.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;">This enables the ransomware to insert malicious code into executable files on the compromised system. The inclusion of Neshta serves as a camouflage technique for the final Big Head ransomware payload, disguising the malware as a different threat type, such as a virus. This strategy aims to divert security solutions that primarily focus on detecting ransomware, potentially evading detection.</span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, Segoe UI, Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, Fira Sans, Droid Sans, Helvetica Neue, sans-serif;">Although the identity of the threat actor responsible for Big Head remains unknown, Trend Micro identified a YouTube channel named "aplikasi premium cuma cuma," indicating a possible Indonesian origin of the adversary. </span></p><p style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; margin: 25px 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #232f3e; font-family: Roboto, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Oxygen, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Fira Sans", "Droid Sans", "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;">The researchers emphasized the need for security teams to remain vigilant due to the diverse functionalities of this malware. Its multifaceted nature poses a significant risk once fully operational, making it more challenging to defend against, as each attack vector necessitates separate attention and countermeasures.</span></p>Sufyan Minhashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10866824226989320926noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488700475390266683.post-80395586190058710232019-08-31T00:20:00.002-07:002019-08-31T00:20:30.780-07:0010 ways to keep yourself secure online against cyber attacks 2019<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">The most basic mistake that users make is setting easily guessed passwords so they don’t forget them and the attackers happily use this as a weakness by figuring out commonly used passwords. Don’t make it easy for hackers to get access to your online accounts and set strong passwords with different combinations of uppercase and lowercase letters along with numerals and special characters. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #777777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">Make a logical function or method to set passwords for each site so that you don’t have to remember every single password, just apply the function and recall your password using logic. If you still have trouble with this, <a href="https://www.hackread.com/best-password-managers-for-2019/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d61403; transition: color 200ms ease 0s, background-color 200ms ease 0s, text-shadow 200ms ease 0s, box-shadow 200ms ease 0s, border 200ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">use password managers</a> that help you organize your passwords and remind you to change them frequently.

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">Emails are one of the common ways used by attackers to send you <a href="https://www.hackread.com/how-phishing-has-evolved-in-2019/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d61403; transition: color 200ms ease 0s, background-color 200ms ease 0s, text-shadow 200ms ease 0s, box-shadow 200ms ease 0s, border 200ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">phishing</a> and malicious links to download viruses and other malware. Most users send substantial information via emails. Emails also remain open to future attacks as they are stored in the cloud. Therefore, it’s of utmost importance to keep your emails secure and protected from attacks and infiltrations. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #777777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">You can go to settings of your email account and modify them to allow you further control over sent emails such as set a time period until which you can undo sending an email and get notified instantly when an unknown device accesses your emails. </span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">Multi-factor authentication means that you have to go through multiple phases of authentication before you can access your accounts. This strengthens the process of authentication noticeably and you can rest assured that a simple brute force attack can’t hurt your privacy. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #777777; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">You don’t have to worry about data corruption or <a href="https://www.hackread.com/unprotected-mongodb-leaks-users-data-from-sensitive-search-engine/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #d61403; transition: color 200ms ease 0s, background-color 200ms ease 0s, text-shadow 200ms ease 0s, box-shadow 200ms ease 0s, border 200ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">leaking of confidential information</a>. There are several companies who have adopted this method of authenticating their employees. Instead of making logging in a complicated process, multi-factor authentication is secure enough that it can be used as a single login point and as a result, you will be logged in to multiple applications on your device. </span></div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">With the fast-growing internet services, online threats are ever-increasing. You never know how your data is being used for analysis by giants like Facebook and Google. </span><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black;">You must’ve surely noticed that just one search of a product on Amazon results into that same product being advertised to you on Facebook and Instagram. While this is acceptable for receiving recommendations, your privacy is of utmost importance. Therefore, be sure that you do your part by following the above guidelines and securing yourself on the internet.</span> </span></div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em;">Most of the attacks have been carried out through phishing emails.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em;">These emails include complaints against the organization being targeted.</li>
</ul>
A threat actor has been found leveraging two popular remote access trojans to launch attacks against different organizations. The malware are RevengeRAT and Orcus RAT and are being used to target government entities, financial services, information technology service providers and consultancies.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">What’s the matter?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Researchers from Cisco Talos have discovered that the threat actor group behind the attacks is using a fileless attack technique to gain persistence on targeted systems and evade detection.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">How does the campaign operate?</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Researchers note that there are several variations of the infection process associated with the distribution of malware. However, most of them have been carried out through phishing emails. These emails appear to come from various authorities such as the Better Business Bureau (BBB), Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), Ministry of Business Innovation & Employee (MBIE) and other regional agencies. These emails include complaints against the organization being targeted.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
In the beginning, the attackers made use of the SendGrid email delivery service to redirect victims to an attacker-controlled malware distribution server. However, in the later attacks, the adversary modified the infection process by adding ZIP archive attachments to emails. Although the emails featured the same themes, they no longer leveraged the SendGrid URLs.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The attached ZIP archives contain malicious batch files responsible for retrieving the malicious PE32 file and executing it, thus infecting the systems.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“One interesting thing to note about the batch files was the use of an obfuscation technique that is not commonly seen. In early campaigns, the attacker prepended the bytes "FF FE 26 63 6C 73 0D 0A" into the file, causing various file parsers to interpret the file contents as UTF-16 LE, resulting in the parsers failing to properly display the contents of the batch file,” <a href="https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2019/08/rat-ratatouille-revrat-orcus.html" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: transparent; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(115, 135, 156); box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s ease-out 0s;" target="_blank">said</a> the researchers.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Worth noting</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
According to researchers, the C2 infrastructure used for these attacks leverages the Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) in an attempt to hide attackers’ infrastructure. The attackers had pointed the DDNS over to the Portmap service, thus providing an additional layer of infrastructure obfuscation.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
“Portmap is a service designed to facilitate external connectivity to systems that are behind firewalls or otherwise not directly exposed to the internet. These systems initiate an OpenVPN connection to the Portmap service, which is responsible for handling requests to those systems via port mapping,” researchers explained.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Conclusion</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Researchers expect that the ongoing malware attack campaign is likely to increase in the future, impacting various organizations around the world.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: black; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 1.5em; padding-bottom: 0px;">
Organizations should leverage comprehensive defense-in-depth security controls to protect their infrastructures from these malware families.</div>

Apple has just updated the rules of its bug bounty program by announcing a few major changes during a briefing at the annual Black Hat security conference yesterday.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" />One of the most attractive updates is…<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" />Apple has enormously increased the maximum reward for its bug bounty program from $200,000 to $1 million—that's by far the biggest bug bounty offered by any major tech company for reporting vulnerabilities in its products.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" />The $1 million payouts will be rewarded for a severe deadly exploit—a zero-click kernel code execution vulnerability that enables complete, persistent control of a device's kernel. Less severe exploits will qualify for smaller payouts.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" />What's more?<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" />From now onwards, Apple's bug bounty program is not just applicable for finding security vulnerabilities in the iOS mobile operating system, but also covers all of its operating systems, including <a href="http://thacorag.com/1Vtc" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #345ed6; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; transition: all 0.2s linear 0s; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">macOS</a>, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, and iCloud.<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" /><br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 28px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px;" /><div class="separator" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; clear: both; font: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 20px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The vulnerability resides in the interpreter code of the Flash Player that handles static-init methods, which fails to correctly handle the exceptions for try/catch statements.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><div class="second-place clear" id="second-place" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

"Because Flash assumes that it is impossible to execute to the catch block when processing the try catch statement, it does not check the bytecode in the catch block," the researchers explain. "The attacker uses the getlocal, setlocal instruction in the catch block to read and write arbitrary addresses on the stack."</blockquote>
<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The registration date for a web domain, mimicking a job search website in the Middle East, used as the command and control (C&C) server for zero-day attacks suggests that hackers have been making preparations for the attack since February.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Besides the patch for CVE-2018-5002, Adobe also rolled out security updates for two "important" vulnerabilities—including Integer Overflow bug (CVE-2018-5000) and an Out-of-bounds read issue (CVE-2018-5001)—both of which lead to information disclosure.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />So, users are highly recommended to immediately update their Adobe Flash Player to versions 30.0.0.113 via their update mechanism within the software or by visiting the Adobe Flash Player Download Center.</div>

"An Elevation of Privilege vulnerability exists when Cortana retrieves data from user input services without consideration for status," Microsoft explains. "An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute commands with elevated permissions."</blockquote>
Microsoft has classified the flaw as "important" because exploitation of this vulnerability requires an attacker to have physical or console access to the targeted system and the targeted system also needs to have Cortana enabled.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><div class="second-place clear" id="second-place" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

"Cochin discovered that by simply typing while Cortana starts to listen to a request or question on a locked device, he could bring up a search menu.

You probably have come across many websites that let you install browser extensions without ever going to the official Chrome web store.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />It's a great way for users to install an extension, but now Google has decided to remove the ability for websites to offer "inline installation" of Chrome extensions on all platforms.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><div class="clear" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 15px 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Google <a href="https://blog.chromium.org/2018/06/improving-extension-transparency-for.html" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #157bda; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">announced</a> today in its Chromium blog that by the end of this year, its Chrome browser will no longer support the installation of extensions from outside the Web Store in an effort to protect its users from shady browser extensions.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"We continue to receive large volumes of complaints from users about unwanted extensions causing their Chrome experience to change unexpectedly — and the majority of these complaints are attributed to confusing or deceptive uses of inline installation on websites," says James Wagner, Google's extensions platform product manager.</blockquote>
Google's browser extensions crackdown will take place in three phases:<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Starting today, the inline installation will no longer work for newly published extensions.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Starting September 12th, the company will disable the inline installation feature for all existing extensions and automatically redirect users to the Chrome Web Store to complete the installation.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />By December 2018, Google will also completely remove the inline install API method from Chrome 71. Developers using one-click install buttons on their websites are advised to update their links to point to the Web Store.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><div class="second-place clear" id="second-place" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Since users' comments, reviews, and ratings for a specific extension on the official app store play an essential role in giving other users an actual overview about its functionalities and issues, forcing users to land on the app store would definitely improve the Chrome experience for all.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; box-sizing: border-box; font: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"The information displayed alongside extensions in the Chrome Web Store plays a critical role in ensuring that users can make informed decisions about whether to install an extension," Wagner explains.<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 6px 0px 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 6px 0px 25px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />"When installed through the Chrome Web Store, extensions are significantly less likely to be uninstalled or cause user complaints, compared to extensions installed through inline installation."</blockquote>
It should be noted that you will still be able to run the extensions you use today, whether downloaded from third-party or the official web store.</div>

For security reasons, Facebook will prompt you to enter your password and send you two email alerts—first, "Facebook download requested" and another one when "Your Facebook download is ready."<br />
The process of downloading your data should take about 15 minutes; longer or shorter depending on various factors like your internet speed and your individual Facebook account—how long you have been a member of Facebook for, how active you were, and the volume of data it needs to retrieve of you.</div>

Facebook will then let you download a zipped folder titled "facebook-yourusername." Once you unzip it, you will find that it contains a few different folders—for photos, videos, messages, an 'html' folder of other data, and a .htm Index file to help you navigate through different sections or categories of data.<br />

The amount of data Facebook can collect is admittedly staggering. For regular Facebook users, who've been on the platform for some time, downloading and going through one’s digital footprint can definitely make one a little squeamish (and not just because of your status messages from 2008 that seemed so witty back in the day!).<br />
<br style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Daunting as the experience might be, being aware of what information of yours is being collected is the first step to securing it.</div>

To improve performance and reduce crashes caused by third-party software on Windows, Google Chrome, by mid-2018, will no longer allow outside applications to run code within its web browser.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
If you are unaware, many third-party applications, like accessibility or antivirus software, inject code into your web browser for gaining more control over your online activities in order to offer some additional features and function properly.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
However, Google notes that over 15 percent of Chrome users running third-party applications on their Windows machines that inject code into their web browsers experience crashes—and trust me it's really annoying.</div>
</div>
<div id="aim2262211011598715271" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
But don't you worry. Google now has a solution to this issue.<br />

But if this blocking prevents Chrome from starting, the browser will restart and allow the injection. But it will also display a warning for guiding users to remove that particular software.</li>

</ol>
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
However, there will be some exceptions. Google Chrome will continue to allow Microsoft-signed code, accessibility software, and IME software to inject code into your browsers.</div>
<div class="clear" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Today's blog post is an advance notification for all developers out there, whose applications rely on code injection to function properly, forcing them to use either Native Messaging API calls or Chrome extensions to add functionality to the web browser.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"With Chrome extensions and Native Messaging, there are now modern alternatives to running code inside of Chrome processes," Google said.</blockquote>
According to Google, both methods can be used by developers to retain their app features without having to risk browser crashes.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Fewer crashes mean more happy users, and we look forward to continuing to make Chrome better for everyone," Google said while summing up its blog post.</blockquote>
So, companies have almost 13 months to remove the code injecting bits from their software. Google is encouraging developers to use Chrome Beta channel and test their code, though these changes will more likely take effect in the Dev or Canary channels even sooner.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Now, what you are waiting for? Get ready to start rewriting your code.</div>

A recently disclosed severe 17-year-old <a href="http://yoineer.com/2f2g" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">vulnerability in Microsoft Office</a> that lets hackers install malware on targeted computers without user interaction is now being exploited in the wild to distribute a backdoor malware.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
First spotted by researchers at security firm <a href="http://yoineer.com/2f3c" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Fortinet</a>, the malware has been dubbed <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cobalt</span> because it uses a component from a powerful and legitimate penetration testing tool, called <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Cobalt Strike</span>.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Cobalt Strike is a form of software developed for Red Team Operations and Adversary Simulations for accessing covert channels of a system.</div>
</div>
<div id="aim27885241549519748523" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
The vulnerability (CVE-2017-11882) that Cobalt malware utilizes to deliver the backdoor is a memory-corruption issue that allows unauthenticated, remote attackers to execute malicious code on the targeted system when opened a malicious file and potentially take full control over it.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
This vulnerability impacts all versions of Microsoft Office and Windows operating system, though Microsoft has already released a <a href="http://yoineer.com/2f5S" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration-line: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">patch update</a> to address the issue.

Since cybercriminals are quite quick in taking advantage of newly disclosed vulnerabilities, the threat actors started delivering Cobalt malware using the CVE-2017-11882 exploit via spam just a few days after its disclosure.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
According to Fortinet researchers, the Cobalt malware is delivered through spam emails, which disguised as a notification from Visa regarding rule changes in Russia, with an attachment that includes a malicious RTF document, as shown.</div>
<div class="clear" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
</div>
<div id="aim37885241549519748523" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
The email also contains a password-protected archive with login credentials provided in the email to unlock it in order to trick victims into believing that the email came from the legitimate financial service.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"This is [also] to prevent auto-analysis systems from extracting the malicious files for sandboxing and detection," Fortinet researchers Jasper Manual and Joie Salvio wrote.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Since a copy of the malicious document is out in the open... so it's possible that this is only to trick the user into thinking that securities are in place, which is something one would expect in an email from a widely used financial service."</blockquote>
Once the document is opened, the user has displayed a plain document with the words "<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Enable Editing</i>." However, a PowerShell script silently executes in the background, which eventually downloads a Cobalt Strike client to take control of the victim's machine.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
With control of the victim's system, hackers can "<i style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">initiate lateral movement procedures in the network by executing a wide array of commands,</i>" the researchers said.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
According to the researchers, cybercriminals are always in look for such vulnerabilities to exploit them for their malware campaigns, and due to ignoring software updates, a significant number of users out there left their systems unpatched, making them vulnerable to such attacks.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
The best way to protect your computer against the Cobalt malware attack is to download the patch for the CVE-2017-11882 vulnerability and update your systems immediately.</div>

According to his plea agreement in the Nevada case, Seleznev admitted developing a website that allowed fraudsters and cybercriminals to easily purchase stolen credit card account data for roughly $20 per account number and advertised his site on Carder.su.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="border-bottom-color: initial; border-bottom-style: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-style: solid; border-right-color: initial; border-right-style: initial; border-top-color: initial; border-top-style: initial; border-width: 0px 0px 0px 2px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 15px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"The defendant's website had a simple interface that allowed members to search for the particular type of credit card information they wanted to buy, add the number of accounts they wished to purchase to their 'shopping cart' and upon check out, download the purchased credit card information," US prosecutors said on Thursday. </blockquote>

"Payment of funds was automatically deducted from an established account funded through L.R., an online digital currency payment system. The Carder.su organization's criminal activities resulted in loss to its victims of at least $50,893,166.35."</blockquote>
According to his guilty plea agreement in the Georgia case, Seleznev admitted that he acted as a "casher" who worked with other criminal hackers to withdraw cash using stolen bank account information.</div>

This scheme defrauded an Atlanta-based company that processed credit and debit card transactions on behalf of banks and financial institutions.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Seleznev admitted that in pursuit of this scheme, hackers breached the company's systems in November 2008 and stole 45.5 million debit card numbers, which they used to fraudulently withdraw more than $9.4 million from 2,100 ATMs in 280 cities worldwide in less than 12 hours.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
According to the Department of Justice, law enforcement authorities charged a total of 55 individuals in four separate indictments in their massive operation targeting the Carder.su organization, which they called Operation Open Market.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
To date, 33 individuals of the charged individuals have been convicted, while the rest are either pending trials or on the run.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Seleznev, aka Track2, Bulba and Ncux, was arrested in 2014 while attempting to board a flight in the Maldives and then extradited to America. His arrest sparked an international dispute between the US and Russia, who characterized the extradition as a "kidnapping."<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Seleznev, along with other cybercriminals, also developed a hacking scheme that leveraged automated techniques to hack into Point-of-Sale (POS) machines in retailers and install malware to steal copies of credit card numbers.<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
While his sentencing in April, Seleznev's father and Russian MP Valery Seleznev said that the sentence was "passed by man-eaters" and that his son was "abducted."<br />
<br style="box-sizing: border-box; content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
Russian MP also said that his "son was tortured because being in jail in a foreign country after abduction is torture in itself. He is innocent," and that he viewed the prison sentence as a life sentence as his son would never survive these much years in prison.</div>

<u>How to Protect Yourself?</u></h3>
<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The easiest way to prevent yourself from being targeted by a clever malware like Xavier, always beware of fishy applications, even when downloading them from official Play Store and try to stick to the trusted brands only.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Moreover, always look at the reviews below left by other users who have downloaded the app and verify app permissions before installing any app and grant those permissions that have are relevant for the app's purpose.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Last but not the least, you are strongly advised to always keep a good antivirus application on your device that can detect and block such malware before they can infect your device, and keep your device and apps up-to-date.</div>

<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />While two of the vulnerabilities have been exploited in live attacks, another three flaws have publicly available proof-of-concept (POC) exploits that anyone could use to target Windows users.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><h3 style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif; font-size: 1.7em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<u>Vulnerabilities Under Active Attack:</u></h3>
<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The two vulnerabilities currently under active attack include a Windows Search Remote Code Execution flaw (<a href="http://babblecase.com/39eh" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">CVE-2017-8543</a>) and an LNK Remote Code Execution bug (<a href="http://babblecase.com/39ej" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">CVE-2017-8464</a>).<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The more critical of the two is the Windows Search RCE vulnerability which is present in most versions of Windows and resides in the Windows Search Services (WSS) — a feature that allows users to search across multiple Windows services and clients.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The vulnerability, which already has publicly disclosed POC exploit code since early February, could allow a remote code execution in the Windows operating system, enabling an attacker to take over the target machine remotely via a network connection.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px !important; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"To exploit the vulnerability, the attacker could send specially crafted SMB messages to the Windows Search service. An attacker with access to a target computer could exploit this vulnerability to elevate privileges and take control of the computer," Microsoft explains in its advisory. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px !important; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Additionally, in an enterprise scenario, a remote unauthenticated attacker could remotely trigger the vulnerability through an SMB connection and then take control of a target computer."</blockquote>

<div id="aim34487432062285848654" style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">

<u>Shares Striking Resemblance with Stuxnet Malware</u></h3>
<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Another critical flaw under active exploitation is LNK RCE vulnerability resides in the way Windows handles LNK desktop shortcuts, which could allow remote code execution if the icon of a specially crafted shortcut is displayed to a user.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px !important; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"The attacker could present to the user a removable drive, or remote share, that contains a malicious .LNK file and an associated malicious binary," Microsoft explains. </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px !important; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"When the user opens this drive(or remote share) in Windows Explorer, or any other application that parses the .LNK file, the malicious binary will execute code of the attacker’s choice, on the target system."</blockquote>
According to the Zero Day Initiative (ZDI), the active attack exploiting the LNK vulnerability carries some resemblance to the way the dangerous Stuxnet malware infiltrated and sabotaged critical industrial control systems while carrying out its attacks.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><blockquote class="tr_bq" style="background: rgb(250, 250, 250); border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: 16px !important; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 20px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 15px; quotes: none; vertical-align: baseline;">
"If you're experiencing déjà vu reading the bug title, it is certainly understandable," ZDI says in its<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://babblecase.com/39eo" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">blog post</a>. "This type of vulnerability was used by the Stuxnet malware, then found again several years later through a ZDI program submission."</blockquote>
Another three vulnerabilities that have publicly available proof-of-concept exploits include three flaws in the Edge browser, two of which (CVE-2017-8530 and CVE-2017-8523) could allow security feature bypass, while the third (CVE-2017-8498) allows for information disclosure.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Besides this, the Edge browser also receives patches for three more flaws (CVE-2017-8496, CVE-2017-8497, and CVE-2017-8499) that would enable attackers to carry out remote code execution on vulnerable users.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Other patches include fixes for nine of its own remote code execution flaws in Office that could be targeted via DLL files, email messages, a website, and a PowerPoint file.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><h3 style="border: 0px; display: block; font-family: "Roboto Condensed", sans-serif; font-size: 1.7em; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px 0px 10px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: left; vertical-align: baseline;">
<u>Adobe June 2017 Patch Updates</u></h3>
<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Meanwhile, Adobe has also issued security fixes for its most vulnerable software offerings,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://babblecase.com/39er" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Flash Player</a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://babblecase.com/39eq" rel="nofollow" style="border: 0px; color: #428bca; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Shockwave Player</a>.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />The company addresses nine critical bugs in its Flash Player that could allow remote code execution, five of which are due to memory corruption and four are use-after-free conditions in the software.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Users running Chrome, Edge, and Internet Explorer 11 and later will get the update automatically from Google and Microsoft's security teams, while other users should download the patches directly from Adobe.<br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br style="content: " "; display: block; margin: 20px 0px 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" />Shockwave Player received a patch for a single remote code execution vulnerability in the Windows version of its software.

Hackers threaten Disney to upload "Pirates Of The Caribbean 5" on
torrent before releasing date unless Disney give ransom to Hackers.
Hackers demanded "Ransom" in bitcoin. According to our sources, Hackers
have leaked the "Pirates Of The Caribbean 5" on torrent today but links
corrupted after few minutes. Although, leakage of the big movie is not a
good deal for Disney. Morever, FBI is trying to catch the Hacker group
to prevent the movie from being leaked. The much-awaited Disney movie Pirates Of The Caribbean 5 Dead
Men Tell No Tales was compromised by a hacker group called
TheDarkOverlord.
